Double Up™ Red Begonia | Proven Winners®

Lacquered crimson blooms against deep bronze foliage.

Double Up™ Red Begonia packs fully double, rose-like flowers in a rich, saturated red, set against dark bronze leaves for bold contrast and nonstop color from spring through frost.

What You'll Use It For

Your anchor red—clean, defined, and high impact.

• Adding contrast to mixed containers
• Edging beds with a crisp, uniform look
• Pairing with whites, yellows, or chartreuse
• Mass planting for solid blocks of color
• Balancing softer or pastel plantings

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This is red that holds its shape. The blooms are tight, layered, and consistent—less airy, more structured—so the plant reads full and intentional, not loose or scattered.

And that dark foliage matters. It deepens the red, giving you a richer tone that doesn't wash out in sun or fade into shade.

• Works in sun and shade
• Naturally compact and globe-shaped
• Self-cleaning blooms (no deadheading)
• Handles heat without falling apart
